Seller of 4BR house in Freshwater

In April 2018, from overseas, I contacted James from SEA for an appraisal of our Freshwater house. I was immediately impressed with his local knowledge and professionalism, especially the trouble he went to presenting his report. When in August of this year, we made the decision to sell, we chose James and it was one of the best decisions of our life. James is DIFFERENT! Instead of over-promising, he under-promises, then over-delivers. His unique system, with styling and various trades, advertising and videos, as well as amazing data analysis techniques ensured we found the right buyer quickly (20 days), smoothly and at a great price. It is not that often one is truly delighted in life, but we were delighted by James work. SEA are winners.

Outstanding experience

I chose James to sell my property for three main reasons: 1. James knows the Freshwater market better than any other agent (he uses market and internally collated data to understand a situation then overlays deep market knowledge and personal relationships built over 20 years to predict an outcome, set a clear selling strategy and attract purchasers), 2. After benchmarking other agents he was competitively priced & 3. He invests significantly back into this community through the financial support of a range of not for profit organisations. He successfully sold our property for a street record after only 4 weeks!

Terrific!!

I have now sold two properties with James over the past 11 years. The first sold in just a few days with zero advertising at an exceptional price. The 2nd sold days ago in a difficult market after two+ weeks of showing and at the top end of the expected range. I am very pleased and highly recommend his expertise.

James has sold two properties on my behalf. 1 x Narrabeen. 1 x Dee Why.

It's true, business succeeds on repeat customers. The reason I returned after James undertook a sale in Dee Why a couple of years back. I found him knowledgable to different areas on the Northern Beaches, straight forward and importantly practical in his approach. Highly recommend.

Professional Local Specialist Delivers Again

After a recommendation from friends and a neighbouring sale we invited James into our home for a first conversation. His approach to realestate was one of the most professional we had ever seen. True analysis, real time reporting and a plan to get the property sold. His supporting team was also a pleasure to deal with. After a solid campaign we got the outcome we were after at Auction. Highly recommend James and his team for his work selling property in the lower northern beaches.

Committed and professional agent!

James was, from the get-go, extremely professional and committed in getting us the best result for the sale of our home. He understood that this was an emotional decision and was respectful and thoughtful in his approach. He kept us informed every step of the way and we wouldn't have had the success we had if this had been any other agent.

Comitted and genuine

We have known James for over a decade and have always trusted him with our real estate and property dealings. We bought our property as a family home but moved interstate and decided to rent our house initially. James and his team at Smyth Estate Agents managed the property for us for a number of years before we decided to sell. With us being interstate, he and his team managed the process of getting the property ready for sale and the sale process and went above and beyond the call of duty, getting us a great result and were always available if we had a concern or question. We would highly recommend him or his agency for any of your property needs. We still have an apartment that he manages and intend to maintain our relationship with him and his team ongoing.

Great Result

James from SEA was hardworking, diligent and professional. In a market that was at best "Shakey" James gave us every chance to get the price we wanted. He worked hard behind the scenes and at every stage throughout our Sale campaign giving strong and wise advice. I will use him again and do highly recommend him.

Great agent, highly recommended.

I vetted several agents and chose James because of his excellent local knowledge, professionalism and the sales strategy he recommended. James gave us sound advice, was supportive throughout and kept us informed to ensure the process ran as smoothly and was as stress-free as possible. My wife and I were thrilled with the result which was due to the way James executed the marketing campaign and negotiated with the buyers to get us the best possible price. Thank you, James. I would recommend you to anyone thinking of selling.
